The Integrated Behavioral
Health program has been developed as part of an ongoing effort to
provide a more holistic form of treatment for patients, focusing
on the relationship between the body, mind and behavior.
Studies show that over two thirds of all patients
who come to a medical clinic, are struggling with life stress issues
such as financial or relationship problems, adjustment to chronic
health conditions, and other issues which greatly affect a patients’
general health.
The Integrated Behavioral Health program brings
mental health services right into the primary care exam room unlike
the traditional psychotherapy model.
The goal of the integrated behavioral health program
is to provide a better overall quality of care, which ultimately
decreases medical costs and improves consumer and provider satisfaction.
Increased access to the behavioral health consultants, and the use
of behavioral health interventions (which are both time-limited
and strategically focused), allows Family HealthCare Network to
provide holistic care to a larger population.
Behavioral Health services are available at
the following health centers:
